WATERCRAFT
First Claim
1. A watercraft comprising:
- a plurality of watercraft operating devices arranged to adjust an amount and/or a direction of a propulsive force or a resistance provided to a prescribed position of the watercraft;
an operation device arranged to operate the plurality of watercraft operating devices;
actuators arranged to actuate respective ones of the watercraft operating devices; and
a control unit arranged to control an operation amount of each of the actuators based on an operational state of the respective operation devices, wherein the control unit includes;
a traveling state detecting device arranged to detect a traveling state of the watercraft;
an operational state detecting device arranged to detect an operational state of the operation device;
a traveling plan estimating device arranged to estimate a traveling plan of an operator of the watercraft based on the traveling state and the operational state; and
a watercraft operating device controlling device arranged to select at least one of the watercraft operating devices to be controlled, and arranged to control an operating amount of the actuator operating the at least one watercraft operating device to be controlled.

Abstract
A watercraft includes a plurality of watercraft operating devices arranged to adjust an amount and/or a direction of a propulsive force or a resistance provided to a prescribed position of the watercraft, operation devices arranged to operate the plurality of watercraft operating devices, actuators arranged to actuate the respective watercraft operating devices, and a control unit arranged to control an operation amount of each of the actuators based on an operational state of the operation devices. The control unit preferably includes a traveling state detecting device arranged to detect a traveling state of the watercraft, an operational state detecting device arranged to detect an operational state of the operation devices, a traveling plan estimating device arranged to estimate a traveling plan of an operator of the watercraft based on the traveling state and the operational state, and a watercraft operating device controlling device arranged to select one of the watercraft operating devices to be controlled from the plurality of watercraft operating devices, and arranged to control an operating amount of the actuator operating the watercraft operating device.
